Walking in Two Worlds

Every day, we navigate a complex path between two realms: the tangible world of our human experience and the subtle, often unseen world of our spirit. This dual existence can create tension, confusion, and moments of profound insight. A phrase I have coined, "Bless this human, their soul has yet to arrive," captures this beautifully. It reminds us that sometimes, when people act out of pain or misunderstanding, they are still learning to integrate their spiritual essence with their human form.

Understanding this balance helps us respond with compassion rather than frustration. It opens space for healing and growth, both in ourselves and in our relationships. This post explores how embracing our human and spiritual journeys together can bring peace, clarity, and unity.

Walking through nature symbolizes the journey between the human and spiritual worlds

The Challenge of Walking in Two Worlds

Living as both a human and a spiritual being means we often feel pulled in different directions. Our human side reacts to everyday challenges—family conflicts, work stress, political tensions. These triggers can stir strong emotions and cloud our perspective.

At the same time, our spiritual self calls us to rise above these reactions, to see beyond immediate circumstances and connect with deeper truths. This can feel uncomfortable because it requires us to confront aspects of ourselves that we might prefer to ignore.

For example, a heated argument with a loved one might reveal unresolved fears or wounds. Instead of reacting defensively, recognizing that the other person is also on their journey allows us to step back. We can say to ourselves, "Bless this human, their soul has yet to arrive," and soften our response. This mindset creates space for understanding and healing.

Nature offers a powerful way to bridge the gap between our human and spiritual selves. When we spend time outdoors, we reconnect with rhythms and cycles larger than ourselves. This connection can calm our minds and open our hearts.

Consider the simple act of walking in a forest or sitting by a river. These experiences ground us in the present moment while inviting a sense of wonder and peace. Nature does not judge or rush us. It patiently supports our process of healing and growth.

Many people find that regular time in natural settings helps them notice subtle shifts within—moments when the spiritual self feels more present. This can lead to insights about how to handle difficult emotions or relationships with more grace.

When we allow our human and spiritual parts to coexist, we create unity within ourselves. This unity brings a sense of peace and wholeness that radiates into our relationships and daily life.

Walking in two worlds means accepting that growth is a process. Sometimes we stumble, sometimes we shine. Each moment presents an opportunity to learn and grow.  If a family member’s behavior feels hurtful, instead of reacting with anger, you might say internally, "Their soul is still finding its way." This doesn’t excuse harmful behavior but shifts your perspective to one of empathy and patience.

By embracing this journey, we become more resilient, compassionate, and connected to life’s deeper meaning. We no longer see challenges as obstacles but as invitations to awaken more fully.

The journey of walking in two worlds is ongoing. It asks us to be patient with ourselves and others, to hold space for growth, and to trust that every step brings us closer to home—our true spirit in human form.

This holiday season might be a perfect time to reflect on where you are in this journey. How can you bring more kindness to yourself and those around you? How might nature support your next step? Remember, every reaction is an opportunity to light up your human experience and invite your soul to arrive more fully.

Much love and blessings to all,
